Why do this course?

MATLAB is an incredibly powerful programming environment with a rich set of analysis toolkits. But what if you're just getting started – with MATLAB and, more generally, with programming?

Nothing beats a hands-on, face-to-face training session to get you past the inevitable syntax errors!

So join us for this live coding workshop where we write programs that produce results, using the researcher-focused training modules from the highly regarded Software Carpentry Foundation (software-carpentry.org).

You’ll learn how to:

Programming concepts and techniques.

Basic syntax, control structures and data types in MATLAB.

How to load external data into MATLAB.

Ways to visualise data.

Defensive programming techniques for avoiding errors.

The Intersect approach to training

At Intersect, we work closely with our member universities to develop and deliver training that targets the day-to-day software and technology problems that researchers face. We deliver hands-on courses in a relaxed setting with knowledgeable, helpful trainers who are themselves researchers and who know how researchers work.
